Research interests: The study of gamma-ray bursts, optical transients (mainly from the Pan-STARRS project), and magnetic fields in low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. He uses observations across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio to γ-rays.

Research interests: Observations of supernovae for themselves and for cosmology using HST, Magellan, MMT, and the Whipple Observatory. Use of rest frame infrared observations for Type Ia supernovae to improve measurements of dark energy properties. Ongoing Hubble Space Telescope study of SN 1987A, the brightest since 1604!

Research Interests: Her research focuses on the catastrophic death of stars, “supernovae”. She combines astronomical data sets from many observatories and satellites in order to probe the eruptive, destructive, and explosive nature of supernovae and their role in the Universe.
